Hello All-

Information on ARCSA and the course can be found here:
Please help spread the word and distribute to your networks:

ARCSA is still assigning instructors and I have offered to be involved. For more information on the classes see the web site first and then contact Tim Pope listed on the course page.
These courses are a tremendous opportunity to bring many stakeholders involved together. Thanks in advance for your help.
